Comments about ORIGINAL COLORFORMS SET:

It was wonderful to see my kids playing with something that I had memories of as a child. They enjoyed creating everything from individual images to entire scenes with the pieces. They played for hours and were also a great distraction on a long road trip. My only complaint with the set was how much wasted space ended up on the pages where the shapes were cut out. So much material was wasted that I encouraged my kids to cut out their own shapes from the leftover bits.

Comments about ORIGINAL COLORFORMS SET:

Gave this to my 4 year old son for Christmas. He played with it right away, making designs on a sliding glass door. It made a great gift, and he can entertain himself with it. My only complaint: the pieces don't stick very well to the enclosed black and white boards. They work much better on glass.

1951/2009 - Eternal Classic Is So Now

By Jane the Architect

from Los Angeles on 12/4/2009

Gift:

Yes

Pros:

Attractive Design, Bright, Unique

Describe Yourself:

Budget Shopper

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about ORIGINAL COLORFORMS SET:

Can't wait for recipient to open this. Looks great.

Service & Delivery comments:

Product arrived in perfect shape, but the box it came shipped in was about ten times bigger than it needed to be. A lot of packing material (cardboard, paper cushioning) could have been saved. Also, the choice of materials could have been a lot more eco-friendly and lighter (balled-up butcher paper is quite heavy). Hope you can do better in the future.
